Like a lot of other people with CCTV that can be viewed over the
internet, I need to remotely power cycle the modem now and then. Ideas?


USB operated relays are readily available, and they handle mains.

Or use one of the SONOFF switches - see eBay - that work from an app (can
be hacked to have a webserver instead).


Sonoff would be good, hack it to ping an external site and turn off and
on if it can't ping to reset the router.
